Dogs who have or are at risk for certain health problems can benefit from supplements. Veterinarians commonly recommend nutritional supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin as a part of treatment plans for osteoarthritis.
Arthritis affects cats and dogs in the same way as it affects humans. Joints can become inflamed as they age; this restricts their movement and can sometimes be very painful. This inflammation can lead to cartilage wear, which can lead to the bones rubbing together.
An important part of being a dog owner is keeping your dog healthy and happy. This means providing him/her with enough exercise, feeding dog quality food, playing and cuddling him/her, and taking care of your dog’s fur.
